The other possiblities are that your install is missing files, such as the english.php file, or that the permissions are set so your web server can't access them. Most web servers run as the user 'nobody'.

Hi, I have just spent the last hour or two installing this script and trying to get it to work. I have the exact same error come up as the OP. I have noted the response and made changes to the config.php file to make sure everything works and even changed the permissions of the file on the server itself to see if that would change anything. Nothing. It still comes up with the same error message.

To me this means that there is a problem that has nothing to do with the location of where the script is as I have checked it many times, even looking up things online to see if I understand what is being said.

There needs to be an explanation of why this does not work in my instance. Saying

The $config['installBase'] is likely wrong

without giving an example of a correct one is what I would like to see rectified. I have PHP 5.4 running on my server. Is there something that needs to be changed in the php.ini file?
